YouTube video by Loren Behind the Screen How Mission: Impossible goes way beyond the film

In my latest video essay, I break down how Mission: Impossible – Final Reckoning turns spectacle into storytelling.

And I'm glad you enjoyed my take on it, from a filmmaking perspective. I appreciate the thoughts and comments.

The one thing I'd mention is I think you implied that Stack and Mary "chose" the Vampire life. But I don't think they did. Neither of them asked to be bitten, and only stuck with it, as they all did, since the only other option was death. I think it was still coercion, but that's a minor detail.

Wow, that was a really deep and thoughtful thread. I actually don't think we are too far off in our opinions about the Vampires. I do see them as cultural appropriation. But your idea of the Irish being already "appropriated to whiteness" really explains it well.

I'm so happy that you enjoyed. Thanks for the feedback TessThe5th :)

And yes, my mission is to help others develop appreciation for high-level storytelling. And I think the best way is not just to tell, but to show how it's done. I hope you enjoy the channel!
